WE BELIEVE 1T.

The Wisconsin census shows
that in Sheboygan county the
total earnings per cow are 500
for a year, while in other coun-
ties almost equally favorable
for dairy purposes, the annual
earnings per COW run from $15
to $50. AS it costs just as much
to keep a COW that pays a pro-
fit of only $15 a year as it does
to keep the COW that returns $50
per anllnin, it is plain that the
improved methods, appliances
and brains that brought about
the latter return are used to ii
handsome profit in the dairy.
Sheboygan county has the repu-
tation of having some of the
most intelligent dairymen, aud
some Of the best dairy stock in
the country, and the figures show
that such thoroughness pays.
IF every farmer il Wisconsin
would take Hoard's Dairyman
and profit by its teachings, he
would increase his dairy receipts

Hoard's Dairyman, Fort Atkinson. Wis.

boards Dairyman, Fort Atkinson. Wis.
We invite attention of all who
may think they cannot afford to
take Hoard's Dairyman to the
short article in another place,
taken from that sterling paper
Farm and Home under the head
We Believe It." We have
watched closely for nearly eigh-
teen years the effect of reading
dairy literature on the progress
and prosperity of hundreds OF
farmers in the West, and almost
without exception we have no
ticed that those who read pros
per, and those who do not read
take it out in grumbling.
by this we do not mean to say
that some non-reading men do
not make money on the farm.
The way they do it is easily I'M
derstood. They slave themsel.
YES, their wives and their child
rem, giving the latter scarcely
any education and providing
but few civilized comforts in
their homes. They do not
liye as q self-respecting, intelli-
gent farmer wants to live. They
or their families have but little
share in each days existence
And out of all this toll and druid.
gerry they lay by a little money
The Dairyman believes more in
brains than in muscle. Ii be.
lieves that the reason farmers dc
not make the money they ought
is not because they do not work
hard enough, but rather because
they flo not read, think anG
study enough, and thus find out
what better posted men are do
ing and how they do it. Tha,
is the main reason so many mel
are milking fifteen dollar COWS
and making ten cent butter
There is only one road out of it
They must read and think more
To help them in this path o
progress is the mission of tllt
Dairyman. Can they afford t.
ignore it's aid for the paltry sun
it costs? Think it over.

worthy and deserving young ladies,
who prefer a>life of usefulness to
idleness and gossip.-Southern
Cultivator.
The Southern Livestock Jour
nal employs three young ladies to
"stick'' type, and they give most
excellent satisfaction. They set
the cleanest proof we ever saw,
andfare rapid type settlers. When
the foreman is absent, one OF the
young ladies make up the entire
form for the paper, arranging the
entire matter ready to go on the
press. They are capable of set
ting up very complicatedjob work.
They frequently set up the adver-
tilsseements when the foreman IS abb
sent, or specially busy on other
duties.
The employment of young la
dies by this paper as compositors,
several years ago, was a matter OF
necessity-the average male COM
positor was SO incompetent, unre-
liable, and in every way unsatis-
factory.
Two young ladies from good
families, both of them graduates
Of the Starkville Female College,
agreed, after considerable persua-
sion, to try their hands at type
setting. They commenced on
manuscript, and experienced no
difficulty in putting it up in good
shape. They were a success from
the first hour.
Setting type is we'll suited to
ladies and girls, and as a rule they
become very proficient in the art
in a very short time. Their fin
gers are more nimble than those
of the opposite sex, and they seem
to handle type with greater ease
and dexterity. Girls as a rule,
have more pride and ambition to
excel than boys, and hence they
advance in the perfection of their
work more rapidly. The great
trouble with the average male
printer, is. that he is a dissipated
character. This imparts unsteady
nerves, and largely interferes with
the character of his work, both in
reference to the perfection Of that
work, as well as the amount per-
formed. A dissipated man or boy
is of course unreliable in very
many ways. This disposition
leads also to extravaganza, anc
extravaganza to a depleted peck
et-book, and an empty pocket
book suggests insufficient wages
and the result is that there is a
constant demand for better pay
and the proprietor is very much
vexed and worried at the unjrst
demands for increased pay Wher
he is we'll satieied that he is al
ready paying more than the EN-.
p1oyee are actually worth.
We advise every printing Office
that experiences the above trouble
with male printers, to discharge
them Immediately and secure the
services of intelligent and refnee
girls and ladies. You will nevel
regret it.

HAWAIIAN CENEAl0CY.
A HAzY SUBJECT ILLUSTRATED BY.
sPAsMoDIC sTEREoPTICoN.


A very slim audience, as to num-
bers, visited the rooms of the School
of Design last evening. when Ferd.
Lee Clarke, "Member of the Ha-
waiian Board of Genealogy," made
his third appearance before San
Francisco audience. The previous
efforts were unfortunate in regard
to location, for they were attempted
in the Academy Of Sciences, which
is too scientifically solemn for the
full play of Mr.. Clarke's illustrated
rhetoric, and comes as near being
fatal to anything poetic or spiritu-
ellie as would morgue. The lee
turer, however, belongs to such an
exalted position on the payroll of
Kalakaua, Rex, that he does not
mind the surroundings, and his aim
seems to be to teach the outside
barbarans the bottom facts regard
ing Hawaiian mythology and the
genealogy of his royal patron. ''rhe
Member Hawaiian Board of Geue-
alogy" is generally assisted by q
stereopticon. Whenever it is nicely
oiled, and the donkey pump in good
working order, it affords an agree
able variety, but last night the ma
chine was tired of life. The first
things to be made clear to the audi
ence were the charts of the Malay
sian Archipelago and the Hawaiian
Islands. The M. A. didn't loom up
worth a cent on the white sheet, but
the b. i. $. were as nebulous as
| Orion's worlds through street
binocular. Like Ajax the "Member
Hawaiian Board of Genealogy"
roared Justify for slight" His stall
wart attendant placed his ponder
osity on the gasbag of the machine,
and so long as he straddled the bag
the views were o. X. but this make
shift was unsatisfactory, for every
time new scene was put in the gas
bag would let up, and thus keep the
audience and the "M. ii. b. g." on
the ragged edge" The greater
part of the evening was devoted to O
culogy of Kamehameha l and his
family. There was nothing new
furnished, and whatever was stated
had been given to the world long
years ago by the facile pen of james
jackson Jarvis. There were some
fair views of Honolulu and its pub.
lie buildings, but the descriptive ac.
compartment was almost worthless.
